Heart Warming, Positive News

[_Gunnar]

Here is a heart warming story about a millionaire employer who really cares about his employees and making a positive difference for them. It should help lift your spirits and inspire some optimism. There are certainly many corporations that could easily afford to do this, given the gargantuan tax breaks granted them by the Trump administration. Why have so few even tried this?

CEO stuns employees with immediate 10K raise, pledges 30k raise over next 5 years.

Well this is definitely heart warming. This is how I think things should be. The stock market has done well under Trump.

Of course. He's still coasting on Obama's work while doing everything he can to tank the economy. It's just that he so incompetent, he hasn't managed to completely “F” everyone yet.

Yes of course. Perhaps you'd prefer an economy/country built by your ancestors that lies south of the border, rather than one built by people with beliefs like myself?

It's hilarious you would think to give credit to your ancestors for the state of the current economy.

You have a serious thinking problem, which might be related to a serious perception problem.

I think that a pretty good case could be made for the idea that the economic direction and outcome of the Confederacy, if left independent and to its own devices, would not have been a stunning success over the long term.

Ajax - Black people are net consumers to the economy; we made a mistake bringing them to the US.

Also Ajax - White people built this country; the slave states knew what they were doing.

Ajax - Debt is bad

Also Ajax - except when Trump pumps trillions of Chinese loans into our economy to prop it up

Ajax - We should stop welfare because it's bad for the economy.

Also Ajax - *whistling with eyes closed* when corporations (and now farmers) are getting more in corporate welfare than poor people

If anyone expects a 2019 Conservative to have an ideologically consistent pattern you might as believe Trump is a paragon of morality and virtuous governance.

Corporate tax cuts are the reason the economy keeps improving under Trump. It's not about fairness. It's a choice of whether we want these corporations investing their money in the US or investing it in another country with better tax rates for the corporation.

In the meantime, I'd invite all Latin American immigrants to leave their socialism and failed economic policies south of the border. Perhaps you could even take Bernie with you on your way back home.

I'm not talking about tax cuts, but I'm not surprised you can't comprehend that. You've demonstrated over and over and over again that you lack basic comprehension regarding a wide variety of issues that's been discussed on this board. This can typically be tied to your lack of reading and basic ignorance as a result. There's literally no cure for that because you're too lazy to actually do the hard work of exercising your brain. This isn't an insult, by the way. I can sit around and wish a bear would run like a cheetah. It's folly. To sit around and wish you and a few other Conservatives would take the time to understand law, policy, and host of other issues is pointless. You can't do it. It's not in your dna.

I would encourage all the Latin American immigrants to leave exactly when all the European immigrants leave as well, since they both have as much right to it as the other.
